Emily Kame Kngwarreye exhibition

www,dacou.com.au Emily Kame Kngwarreye is Australias most important and famous female artist. Hailed as a modernist genius, she has been compared to Rothko and de Kooning. An Anmatyerre elder from Utopia in the remote central desert region of the Northern Territory, Emily first took up painting on canvas in her late 70's. She quickly became one of the leaders in the contemporary Aboriginal art movement, transforming her style several times during her short career of eight years. Today she is known as one of the greatest abstract painters of the 20th century.
